Abstract
The comparative effect of using some vegetal raw flours (Glycine hispida, Phaseolus vulgaris and Vicia faba), treated by autoclaving, introduced in the feeding white rats, was followed by the presented experiments. Feeding growing rats with diets containing raw grain legumes, as the main source of protein, reduce the rate of growth. This effect attenuates with the aging of rats. Inhibition of growth is the most evident in the consumption of raw beans (by 33% over the control group). Autoclaving reduces the level of anti-nutritive factors (with 0.2% - 36.73%) and decreases the growth inhibition (with 10.7% - 27.51%).
